Let’s not go back
I ain’t got a knack
for provoking an attack
but exposing what I lack

Back in those days
I had set the stage
for elaborate disgrace
in a neverlasting haze(? – haste)

But for once I took a wrong turn
which turned out to be a right
I bet you didn’t see that one coming from me
But infact I’m not that unhappy
with being the bull’s eye in the sea
I guess I was just a bit tired of drifting aimlessly

So dressed in remorse
I prepared for war
But you know I still miss you kid
in spite of what I did

That’s not just where, they say, all is fair
Something I thought I was above, that is if I still believed in love

So I’m going to leave before your questions
Drill a hole in the ground
Where we can powernap, wrapped in bubble wrap
Just too awake with the discovery
she came along to neither you nor me
That’s not the way that she’s placing her loyalties

To me that’s fine
I have drawn the line
Here in the centrefold of time
Not looking forward nor behind

Besides it’s clear once you’ve kept them near
The world is obviously loaned(?) because people seem to think they own it

So let’s just celebrate our downfall
I mean, while we’re down in the hall
Until we finally meet the kid in the middle seat
While she’s engaged to the concrete
We’ve got our words and these frozen streets
We’ll keep on niggling(?) fervently on Bob Dylan’s feet
